According to the Organizing Committee, in recent days, storm No. 3 (storm Yagi ) has caused very heavy damage to the northern provinces; people in these provinces are struggling to cope with storms and floods, suffering many losses, pain, and damage to property and people. Therefore, to sympathize and share with the people in the North, the Organizing Committee of the Mid-Autumn Festival has stopped organizing the Phan Thiet City Mid-Autumn Festival in 2024.
